The issues here, which Dr. Love and Mr. Mannion must address, are accountability, transparency, protecting the institutes, good governance, good practice and the management of conflicts of interest. These are the issues at play here, not whether spin outs or commercialisation of intellectual property is good or bad. It is accepted that it is good. I make that point in anticipation of what the witnesses will say.
